My head throbbed as I slowly woke up. I let out a groan and stood up. My eyes opened and I couldn't believe what they saw. I was still in EDI's core, but everything was gigantic. My brain was running a million miles an hour to figure out what happened. Suddenly the door opened. I turned to see a giant Miranda enter the room. She was still in her Cerberus uniform. It had a few tears here and there from the battle.

"Shepard?" Her giant voice boomed. The door closed behind her. I went to get her attention, when suddenly I was hit with a realization. Miranda craves power. She'd never admit it, but I had seen the way she acts. She does everything possible to get power, and at this size she'd have complete power over me.

She may be power hungry, but I still need her help. I thought. I started jumping up and down as I waved my arms above my head.

"Miranda!" I yelled. "I'm down here!"

"Guess that why EDI isn't responding, and where the burst came from." She mumbled to herself. She walked over to the Collector base piece.

"Miranda! Don't touch that!" I yelled.

"What's that sound?" She asked. "Is someone there? Show yourself."

"Down here! I'm down here!" Miranda turned her head down. A confused look suddenly appeared on her face.

"What the..." She said. She activated her omni-tool and scanned me. The tool told her who I was. "What? Impossible." She said. Miranda turned off her tool, and picked me up. The world flew by at an alarming rate. I was brought to a sudden stop. In front of me was a giant blue eye.

"Shepard?!" She yelled. "How did you get so small?!" She brought me back from her face a little and flattened out her hand. I stood up and said.

"I don't know Miranda. I came down here to fix EDI, when I was somehow launched into one of EDI's processors, and knocked out cold. When I woke up everything was big and you walked in."

"Well I know what knocked you back. A burst of energy that originated in this room."

"Must've been from the piece of the Collector base." I said. "But that doesn't explain why I'm so small."

"Look Shepard, we need to find out why you're small. I suggest we take you to Mordin. See if he can fix this." I didn't like the idea of being poked at by Mordin.

"Has Joker figured out why we aren't moving?" I asked.

"Last I heard something was wrong with the engines. He said that the outer casings had been knocked out of place."

"So we aren't going anywhere, are we?"

"Not unless someone goes outside to try and realign the casings. Now let's go see Mordin." With that Miranda started to head to the elevator. I was lost my balance for a second with the sudden forward movement. Miranda moved her hand down next to her flat belly. Each step she took make me lose my balance even more. We didn't even make it out of the med-lab before I fell back in her hand.

I was terrified. At whatever height I was at, Miranda looked like a skyscraper. It felt like the ground was ground was miles away from me. It was even worse when I looked up. Though her boobs blocked part of her face. If I was this scared about such a height difference, how would I feel as Mordin started poking me with whatever tools he uses. Miranda got into the elevator and took it up to the second deck. She walked into Mordin's lab.

"Mordin, Commander Shep...ard..." She stopped when she realized that Mordin wasn't in his lab. "Where is he?"

"He could be in the cargo hold." I said. "There was a lot of debris there."

"Mordin would be all over that stuff." Miranda said. Without another word, she took me back to the elevator and we rode it down to the cargo hold. The cargo hold had been hit pretty bad. A giant drone from the Collectors had drilled its way in. The containment shields had been activated, so the holes created by the drone were not a problem. In the middle of the room was a blob of something, but no one was here.

"Hey Miranda." I called out. "What's that stuff?" I pointed towards the blob.

"I don't know." She said. Miranda started walking over to it. As we got closer I noticed it wasn't a blob. It was what remained of my team, and they were all shrunk.
